Ranch meatloaf patties are a good alternative to ranch meatloaf. Begin by placing 1 pound of ground turkey, 1/2 cup of dry bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 cup of ranch dressing and 1 beaten egg in a bowl, along with 1 finely chopped onion and a handful of finely chopped chives. Combine the ingredients, and form into eight round patties that are 1 inch thick.

Pour a small amount of canola oil in a large skillet, and place over medium-high heat. Cook the meatloaf patties for 4 minutes, flip the patties, and lower the heat. Top each patty with barbecue sauce, and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the patties from the heat, and allow them to sit for five minutes before serving.
